What is the Basic Desire of the ENFP 7w6?

The basic desire of ENFP 7w6 is to be happy and content. This is similar to ENFP 7w8. However, the difference is how they try to achieve this.

How the 7w6 Changes the Natural Tendencies of the ENFP

1.      More Cautious

ENFPs are adventurers by their very nature. Type 7s are even more adventurous. However, with the presence of type 6 as a wing, they become more cautious.

This personality type considers more factors before taking a leap. While they are excited to get things moving, they are also scared of putting themselves in harm’s way.

The extent of their cautious nature will often depend on the strength of their wing.

2.      More Realistic

One reason why we love the ENFP is their endless ideas and vivid imaginations. However, this quality is also a weakness. ENFPs often take on projects that might be unrealistic and impractical.

However, ENFP 7w6s are more realistic. They realize that most projects fail. Thus, they often hold back their excitement until they can see the end of the tunnel.

This helps to stay practical. However, they will never be as realistic as core 6s.

3.      Less Flighty

There’s a stereotypical belief that ENFPs are flighty. While ENFPs certainly do not want to feel trapped, this is far from the truth.

It’s even more evident with ENFP 7w6. While they want a spontaneous relationship, they also want to be secure. A secure relationship to this personality type means having a committed relationship.

Thus, don’t be surprised if your ENFP is looking for a soul mate instead of a casual fling. This does not mean that they don’t have flings too.

As always, the extent of their need for security will depend on the strength of their wing.

4.      Loyal to Friends

While type 7s are free spirits and have no problem making new friends, type 6 find comfort in keeping their long-term friends.

Thus, you get a type that makes acquaintances easily but keeps their core friends closer. This makes them loyal to friends and friendly to others at the same time.

It’s the complete package.

5.      A bit More Organized

ENFPs and ENTPs suck at organizing their space and their thoughts. It’s pretty scattered most of the time. This also applies to type 7s.

The presence of type 6 reduces the level of disorganization. Thus, ENFP 7w6s will be much organized and might even be fashionable.

However, they still won’t like chores very much.

New Weaknesses of the ENFP 7w6

1.      Anxiety

Type 7 and type 6 both have anxiety issues. When these two types blend, it creates a very anxious person. Thus, this type might be anxious over every little thing.

In extreme cases, this can lead to excessive negative feelings and depression. If you are facing any of these issues, you must see a therapist as soon as possible.

2.      Fearful

ENFP 7w6 are very fearful people. This can have an impact on their lives and the decisions they make. ENFP 7w6s might go through life never really experiencing life because of their fear.

They might also have paranoia over certain things and people. This will create even more fear in their minds. ENFP 7w6s might never go on all the adventures they hold or truly be happy because of how scared they are.

The extent of their fear will depend on the strength of their wing. To understand just how strong of a wing you have, you should probably read the in-depth description of type 6.

3.      People-Pleasers

ENFP 7w6s are likely to be people pleasers. This could be because of the loyalty they often feel towards those they care about.
